Yes David I do remember having a "go" at poor old Geoff.I was never afraid to air my views on Manx radio, and I'm not afraid to air them now! If it is something I passionately believe in I will always say it. At the time I had overheard Geoff on the radio congratulating a rider (maybe Dave Pither), and Geoff saying , "well what do you think to being a TT Winner, because that's what it is, it's a TT win?". David's reply went something like, " er, well, it's obviously not a TT win, but it's always good to win whatever the race". I was just making use of the air time to have a go at the organisers who for some reason that year had decided to call the classic races on the Billown, "TT Races". They didn't repeat it the following year.As I said, do we learn nothing from history? I thought Don's point about "trivialising the product/event", was absolutely spot on.
Actually I'm amazed how few of our crew have responded. Here's me feeling quite passionate about the subject, and only a few seem bothered. Is it me? Or have the rest of us fallen in line and accepted the new arrangment?
Oh, and Ian, I don't know which link you refer to. Could you enlighten me please?
